Employer Selection the Role of HRM finding the Right CandidateThe role of Human Resources Management, here in after referred to as HRM has many faces; the most important role that HRM assumes is in the staffing of human resources. This paper will explore the methods and strategies that are used in the selection for Mr. or Ms. Right. Do HRMs handle this important role with expertise? Employment selection impacts many levels, as it delivers an important net result. Companies are as good and productive as the employees that represent them. Employee selection has a vital role in the success of all companies.

HRMs will conduct a needs assessment for reaching the hiring goals and objectives. “Hiring the right person the first time doesn’t happen by accident; it happens by design. Always be clear about the position you want to fill-long before interviewing. Define the
